Ok guys. Maybe I haven't explained properly, although one amongst you hit the nail on the head. I know the dimensions, 1:48 scale, twice the width, twice the height, twice the length and eight times the cubic capacity etc etc. What I don't know is how 0-scale feels. The answer, play with a coupe of freight cars and a bit of track is what I need to do. It's not the maths, but the feel. Plus, as another post suggested, 2 feet is plenty of 'reach' distance. Why not 4 feet? That's twice HO. But it makes sense. Your arms haven't grown. I'll look at the suggested railroads you can model series, see what I can find. Thanks all for your time.
